So, IF we lose the NFCCG next Sunday, then what?

The problem with this D when it blitzes is that most times they just run into blockers, get stuck, and leave the DB's hung out to dry.

Such things that might not happen if Capers would get his LB and DL coaches to correct, or throw in twists and stunts to throw opposing linemen off. How bout bringing out the psycho package once in a while or something?

They ran twists and stunts quite a few times vs Dallas.

They had to or had no hope of getting to Prescott.

Prescott's last pass is a perfect example as Clay hit him just he released coming off a twist.

you think Rodgers is the only person that has been playing better? Adams? Cobb? Getting Perry back? Hyde? Hyde? look at his first half of season till now. Cook? only rodgers huh?

Arod and the packer Oline I think have been carrying this team on their back. Honestly receivers really not creating a lot of separation its aaron accuracy as of late been money. Yes Receivers catching the balls but they are also missing balls.

I'm talking about the defense as a whole, not just the secondary. If your secondary needs some help, do something like throw heavy blitzes at opposing QBs and don't just give them all day to throw.

The secondary is the defense's weakest link often not covering receivers long enough for the pass rushers to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Not sure I agree with that. I have been commenting with friends during games that packers wrs are getting much more separation and I think it is two Fold as to why.

1. Cook adds a totally new dimension allow Cobb to be Cobb. Cobb has been open a lot over the middle now the lbs or safeties are with cook

2. The scheme has changed some. The Packers are throwing more short and intermediate passes stressing out the defense more.

Aaron Rodgers one interception last week missed an Adams who had separation.

 

[PackerDNA]

Cook is the big difference maker. Even when not the target, he's a help to the other recievers.

While that was mostly true for several weeks in the middle of the season Rodgers has thrown more deep balls over the last few games again.

The separation hasnt been a big that much of difference from the wrs but i think cook is the big difference that pass to cook was out of bounds too where cook could only get it. The passes out the back field has helped also.

I agree but they seem less forced. Maybe I am wrong but the deep throws have been to wrs who had a step and are open. I am fine with Rodgers throwing deep when guys are open

Yup, I seen Adams getting steps on his men, and I think it's pretty telling that the Cowboys DBs were having to grab onto our guys' jerseys last week to try and slow them down.

I really think Cobb wasn't at 100% last year and potentially James Jones too. Sometimes it was hard to say because Rodgers did lose his accuracy over the course of the year and in the beginning of this year as well. But I think I seen WRs getting enough separation now that it's not an issue like it was last year.

Plus, can't take away that deep ball when some amazing plays such as RR's and Cobb's hail mary catches happen on them.

The Packers have to set up the deep throws but completing short to intermediate ones as well as at least having the threat of a running game. Rodgers forcing long balls doesn't work consistently.

The Packers didn't add a veteran cornerback during the season, that's how I know.

Like WHO? Darrell Green? Deion Sanders? What worthwhile veteran CB was out there waiting for a team to call them?

The Packers should have traded for a veteran cornerback.

Taking a look at street free agents Dee Milliner, who was a top 10 pick only four years ago, might have been worth a shot.

LIS. This regime cannot draft defense or coach defense. We see it every single year in the postseason.

If the O isn't perfect, we lose. I'm sick of being a team that's relies completely on one side of the ball

The only way to force change is to stop buying tickets. We know things won't change organizationally. I'm sick of it too. Thompson has wasted Rodgers prime.

 

[FaninColorado]

Re-sign our main FA targets, draft a defense with a new scheme with no Capers, and actually look at signing FA's from OTHER teams!!!!

 

[gonzozab]

To no one's surprise, the loss is once again on the defense. Injuries will continue to be the excuse for the sixth year in a row to ignore addressing a bad defense that isn't good even when healthy, and Teddy will continue to be inflexible when it comes to free agency and continue to draft and "develop" marginal talent, thus further cementing them as perrenial Super Bowl also rans. Round and round we go.

Not defending the defense. It wasn't good.

However, just blaming them makes no sense considering the offense had more turnovers than points in the first half.

Both sides were bad.

Some mentioned TT as a HOF GM. Anyone want to explain how? He is directly responsible for the thrash on D. This man has wasted Rodgers prime. Step up Mark Murphy and make a move Damm it!!

True, but performances like this from the offense happen once in a blue moon. They are moving the ball but squandering scoring opportunities. I think we can all agree wholesale changes don't need to be made on that side of the ball.

I hate to say it...I think Dallas would've given Atlanta a better fight. They can run the ball. They have a bad D too but still...

The game would have been in Dallas and Atlanta on the road isn't as good as they are when at Home. Dallas would have beaten ATL.

And how do you know he didn't try? You don't.

Milliner is a free agent for a reason. The Jets let him go because he's not the player he was since rupturing his achilles. The Panthers worked him out and he wasn't good enough for them. What makes you think he would have been worth spending money for us?

I've never tried to drive a hot iron into my eye, but I know it would hurt.
